Abstract

Pentacene-based Organic Thin-Film Transistor (OTFT) with HfO 2 as gate dielectric is studied in this work. The HfO2 dielectric was prepared by RF sputtering at room temperature, and subsequently annealed in N 2O or NH 3 at 200 °C. The OTFTs were characterized by IV measurement and 1/f noise measurement. The OTFTs show small threshold voltage and can operate at as low as 3 V. Results indicate that the OTFT annealed in NH 3 shows higher carrier mobility, larger on/off current ratio, smaller sub-threshold swing and smaller Hooge parameter than the OTFT annealed in N 2O. Therefore, NH 3-annealed HfO 2 is a promising gate dielectric for the fabrication of high-performance OTFTs.
